Of late, IDW Publishing has been facing quite a few ups and downs with its flagship titles. Since losing their comic book license for Hasbro’s Transformers, the publisher has shifted focus to renewing the rights to Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles as they prepare to say goodbye to their current series with the 150th issue, and their Godzilla books show no signs of stopping. Their recent creator-owned endeavors have also made a good impression on readers, most notably Patrick Horvath’s Beneath The Trees Where Nobody Sees, which has piqued fan interest and brought new pairs of eyes with each new issue. IDW’s latest book is an unexpected critique of life in rural America, coupled with body horror of the cosmic kind.Written by Matthew Erman and Lonnie Nadler, with illustrations by Robbi Rodriguez, colors by Marissa Louise, and letters by Hassan Otsmane-Elhaou, Golgotha Motor Mountain #1 is about two brothers who live in the nefarious Golgotha Knob of Kentucky — a region abandoned by local government for its hedonistic lifestyle. Vernon and Elwood Damnage make methamphetamine for the various gangs and armed groups in Golgotha, and the elder sibling has concocted a plan to escape their sordid lives for greener pastures. Little do they know, fate had other plans for them. A mysterious purple rock crashes into their barn, destroying the latest batch of meth and their golden ticket to freedom. But where Elwood sees disaster, Vernon sees an opportunity.Vernon, on the other hand, is adamant about leaving and takes charge of the situation. He can stand face-to-face with foul Neo-Nazis, but the buzzing messages from his “Ball & Chain” have him on edge, indicating domestic turmoil hidden underneath all his bravado. His desperation impacts the story even more than the meteor. The book features a dangerous road trip and cosmic shenanigans, but the nuances of self-discovery and political subtext are hard to miss.
